Matthew 2:9

• [Mat 2:9] Kings Of The East Are Riding, The

  The kings of the east are riding Tonight to Bethlehem; The sunset glows dividing, The kings of the east are riding, A star their journey guiding, Gleaming with gold and gem. The kings of the east are riding Tonight to Bethlehem. To a strange sweet harp of Zion The starry host troops forth: The golden-glaived Orion To a strange sweet harp of Zion, The Archer and the Lion, The Watcher of the north: To a strange sweet harp of Zion The starry host sweeps forth. There beams above a manger The child-face of a star; Amid the stars a stranger, It beams above a manger, What means this ether-ranger To pause where poor folk are? There beams above a manger The child-face of a star.

• [Mat 2:9] Shine On

  See the brightly shining star, As its radiance beams afar, Guide the feet of weary pilgrims To the place where Jesus lay. Like a beacon from its height, Burning brightly in the night, As the wise men followed onward, Safely guided all the way. Refrain Shine on! shine on! Beautiful star of light; Shine on! shine on! Cheering the gloomy night; Shine on! shine on! Sending thy rays afar, Shine on thro’ the darkness, Oh, thou fairest star. It is shining still for thee, With a glory fair to see, As it leadeth ever upward To the palace of the King. So we follow thro’ the night, Safely guided by its light, While our hearts respond with gladness To the song the angels sing. Refrain So today that star alone Is the light to lead us on To the feet of Christ our Savior, He our Prophet, Priest and King, As it brightly burns above, Sentry of the King of love, While we follow onward, upward And His praises sweetly sing.

• [Mat 2:9] Shine On, Bethlehem’s Star

  O wondrous star of Bethlehem! That in the heavens bright Shone forth to guide the pilgrims’ feet, Unto the Prince of Light, Shine on thro’ endless ages, While ringing thro’ the sky; His loyal ones still hear the song: “Glory to God on high!” Refrain Shine on, Bethlehem’s star, Send thy light afar; Tell of Jesus’ birth Till His glory fills the earth. O blessèd star of Bethlehem! Still gild with heav’nly ray The pathway to the Holy One Who comes to us today. Gleam thro’ the darksome shadows That fill the heart with fear, Till weary souls shall see the light, Knowing that Christ is near. Refrain O wondrous star of Bethlehem! Shine on; we too would bring Our lives a willing sacrifice, With gladness to the King. With joy we travel onward, Encircled by the glow— The glory of the fadeless Star, Jesus, whose love we know.

Matthew 20:21

• [Mat 20:21] Two Brothers Freely Cast Their Lot

  Two brothers freely cast their lot With David’s royal Son; The cost of conquest counting not, They deem the battle won. Brothers in heart, they hope to gain An undivided joy, That man may one with man remain, As boy was one with boy. Christ heard; and willed that James should fall First prey of Satan’s rage; John linger out his fellows all, And die in bloodless age. Now they join hands once more above Before the Conqueror’s throne! Thus God grants prayer; but in His love Makes times and ways His own. All glory to the Father be, All glory to the Son, All glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee While endless ages run.

Matthew 20:23

• [Mat 20:23] Oh! What, If We Are Christ’s

  Oh! what, if we are Christ’s, Is earthly shame or loss? Bright shall the crown of glory be When we have borne the cross. Keen was the trial once, Bitter the cup of woe, When martyred saints, baptized in blood, Christ’s suffeirngs shared below: Bright is their glory now, Boundless their joy above, Where, on the bosom of their God, They rest in perfect love. Lord, may that grace be ours, Like them in faith to bear All that of sorrow, grief or pain May be our portion here. Enough if Thou at last The word of blessing give, And let us rest beneath Thy feet, Where saints and angels live. All glory, Lord, to Thee, Whom Heav’n and earth adore; To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, One God forevermore.
